P.K. Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm not so sure. I found this article very interesting reading: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/05/why-the-official-explanation-of-mh370s-demise-doesnt-hold-up/361826/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 After mapping the sea bed the search is due to start in a week or so. Still at odds with Inmarsat et al are the Independent Group one of whom I quoted above. Their best guesstimate is now 37.5 S, 89.2 E - a long way south of the current Australian Transport Safety Bureau "Priority Search Area" as per graphic: The explanation they give is very interesting (if you like that kind of thing) and is at http://www.duncansteel.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I had to look at this thread again just to check that they hadn't found the plane at Ronaldsway, parked up next to Yanukovych's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 PK. yes, very interesting. I find it staggering and impressive that so much has been squeezed from such tiny bursts of data, never intended to give up positional information. The problem for the ATSB is that they have done a bathymetric survey of the seabed at their favoured search location, and this (as I understand it) is pre-requisite for a detailed seabed search. If they go to the IG's proposed location, they would have to start again. Who knows, they might have to do that in due course. They can at least take comfort from another independent analysis that more or less agrees with their conclusions. http://www.utdallas.edu/~zweck/MH370AugustReport.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The plot thickens. After further analysis: "In conclusion, the IG end point analysis fits with the IG fuel analysis, taking account of the uncertainties mentioned above. This gives us additional confidence that our derived end point at 37.71S 88.75E is close to the impact location of MH370, and we urge that the underwater search be directed towards this region."

P.K. Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, who are driving the search for MH370, appear to have changed their minds about the accuracy of the original calculations. It seems they are now surveying the area that was originally identified by the Independent Group as the most likely point of impact which is something like 1000 k south from the original main search area. How refreshing that a government organisation is prepared to change tack against the best guess of their earlier advisers. Although to be fair there are quite a few ways to slice and dice the available data. But on whose face will the egg be? The Independent Group or Inmarsat? Hopefully time will tell.

P.K. Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Oh dear. Now they're arguing amongst themselves: http://research-investigations.newsvine.com/_news/2014/12/18/27621932-atsb-rebuffs-ig-recommendation-as-official-mh370-search-area-widens "Increasing the size of the search area increases the chances of finding MH370...." Well no shit Sherlock. The search has been plugging away but it's a very big ocean. Follow @MikeChillit on Twitter for daily updates. If you're interested in that kind of thing of course...

P.K. Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Search vessel Pheonix is starting to scan the Inmarsat predicted resting place of MH370. Well, it's Inmarsat's kit so they should have the most accurate prediction. Well, you would think so anyway. Watch that very very large space...

the stinking enigma Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 you think the americans, faced with a transponderless plane, heading towards diego garcia, surrounded by a load of brightly flashing alarms and dials, wouldnt shoot a plane down ? or wouldnt at least know what happened to it?

P.K. Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So the satellite data into the Southern Indian Ocean is all fabricated then? Works for me. You know, I can't help thinking they'll eventually find MH370 along with Elvis Presley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
